The soundtrack for this
epic western movie featuring the great Lee Van Cleef bears the signature of
Ennio Morricone: guitars, flute, piano, timpani, drums and a Native-American
choir style make this motion pictures a kind of original masterpiece in the
maestro oeuvre. I Cantori Moderni di Alessandroni perform here in their own
unique way with Alessandro Alessandroni on evidence with his original
whistling.

For the first time the
complete edition on double vinyl limited to 500 copies in colored vinyl.

Extras include an insert
wirh a tracklist and movie photos.

The first LP is the basic
soundtrack but with some added cues I've never heard before, highlighting
Cantori Moderni, and particularly Alessandronis whistling skills.

The second LP includes
different cues never released before on vinyl including the vocal main theme,
plus a bunch of stereo mixes. The whole things packaged with great artwork of
Van Cleef, plus an insert with stills from the movie. Excellent!
